Cedarwood--like a warm, protective cloak of peace

Written by Christine E. Kiesinger, Ph.D. on 17th Apr 2017

I love cedarwood for its numerous benefits but call upon it most when I am in need of a sense of grounding and peace. Cedarwood, for me, is like a warm, protective cloak that I call upon to reduce anxiety levels. Pompeii's cedarwood is rich, deep and pure. A wonderful asset to your essential oil collection.
